but an all munich pale ale is lovely.

I don't think it's being pedantic, just principled! I agree with you Mort!

I've got ten pounds of Munich, as I've never done an all Munich beer, I think I'm going to do an all Munich/Zythos. Thanks for the inspiration, Mort!

Awesome, I was also going to do Munich/Zythos beer here soon as well. What yeast are you planning to use? I was thinking either 1450 or 1469 myself, but then, those have become my go to yeasts for pretty much everything.

liquidbrewing:
My go to is US-05, but I also use Nottingham alot. I still have one pack of BRY - 97 left too. Probably go with the US-05

I just (around Thanksgiving) brewed a Belgian Imperial IPA using Zythos and Citra. It turned out fairly good, but if I think it was under-hopped. I went for mellow bitterness (accomplished) and lots of flavor/ aroma (under-accomplished). I tell you this as it may influence your hopping rate. Here is my hop bill/schedule:

I thought I would have a major hop bomb. Maybe it was the Imperial part (10.5 ABV) that changed the hop impression, but the alcohol is integrated, so I don't know...

Let us know the results of your Munich/Zythos APA. I just picked up a pound of Zythos (along with several others) and have plans of a Pale Ale marathon here in a couple months.
